The Lakers were able to get revenge on Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets to start the week, picking up a win in a physical game on their home court on Tuesday. They had to go on the road for a back-to-back against the Warriors, who they were unable to defeat despite the Warriors injuries. Goran Dragic flipped in a floater to win the game for the Heat in the Lakers final game of the week. At least the Lakers took it to the Nuggets, otherwise, this wouldn’t have been a nice week for them. Brandon Ingram needs to get healthy, and then they’ll be able to see him get some more development in actual games to close out the season.
